Tanya Hunt was born in Grand Forks, BC but spent most of her young life growing up in the Interior. Following her passion in helping restore and preserve smiles, Tanya completed the denturist program in Vancouver.

As a denturist, Tanya specializes in providing partial and full dentures, as well as dentures over implants for her patients in Abbotsford. Tanya loves the opportunity to meet and get to know her patients and their families as she works to restore those teeth that can be saved and replace those that cannot, in an effort to help give each of her patients a stellar smile.

When not working to provide dentures to her patients in Abbotsford, Tanya enjoys spending time with her spouse and their 5 children, as well as reading, writing, and working out at her local gym. In addition to dentures, Tanya is also passionate about animals. Today, her personal menagerie consists of a hairless, rag doll Himalayan cat, a Yorkie puppy, Jiffy the bunny, and a whole lot of KOI fish. Her dream is to one day travel the world and learn as much as she can about the various countries and the people who live there.

Tanya's personal philosophy is “to preserve and maintain what you have for as long as you can, and then to replace what is missing to restore function.”
